We were driving down down the road The top was down the wind was in your hair Headed for a destination unknown Searching for tomorrow Living for Today We were living for today Parked the car out in a field Made our way to the fair Trading stories as we go Searching to tomorrow Living for today We were living for today We walked around that whole town We saw the people that were living there Met them at the old train depot Searching for tomorrow Living for today We were living for today Lost in the corn maze a corny affair Talked until the sun went down I had to go but you had me stay Searching for tomorrow Living for today We were living for today Wake up here lying next to you Basking in the life that we share Loving you was never hard to do Searching for tomorrow Living for today We were living for today Loving you was never hard to do Loving you was never hard to do Loving you was never hard to do

I saw you there you wore a yellow dress you met him there in a moment of distress he called to you he came out of the blue you came to me you wanted to be free Out from under the rain out from under the rain out from under the rain out from under the rain You walked alone and talked into the void You said it all in the silence between your tears You shared with me (all your darkest fears) And you told me it cost you years Out from under the rain out from under the rain out from under the rain out from under the rain (break it down now) Out from under the rain out from under the rain out from under the rain out from under the rain .

You think I am crazy, when I look at you I think you are angry, cause that's what we do Running through the sprinklers, trying to keep things cool Been looking for some answers, feeling like we're fools Bored with this town again, but there's nowhere else to go Unpack the car again, it's good for the soul, it's good for the soul Turned on the news, to watch the talking heads The world's gone to hell, yeah nothing makes no sense The walls are closing in again, it's time to phone a friend Can't find the door, where I came in Bored with this town again, but there's nowhere else to go Unpack the car again, it's good for the soul, it's good for the soul They say the air is toxic, that you should not breathe I find that kind of funny, if you know what I mean I don't know what time it is, doesn't matter anyway They took away my purpose, guess I'll drink the day away Bored with this town again, but there's nowhere else to go Unpack the car again, it's good for the soul, it's good for the soul It's good for the soul, it's good for the soul It's good for the soul, it's good for the soul

I was part of your collection Hooked into your deception Shouldda known from inception That your love was an infection Should’ve known from the start You played me like a broken heart Trapped in your web of obsession I was just another possession You took me in with open arms Distracted me with all your charms But soon I felt your poison heart As you pulled me into your dark Should’ve known from the start You played me like a broken heart Trapped in your web of obsession I was just another possession Every time I tried to break free You’d reel me back in with ease And though I knew it wasn’t right I always give in without a fight Should’ve known from the start You played me like a broken heart Trapped in your web of obsession I was just another possession You played me like a broken heart A broken heart a broken heart Should’ve known from the start I was just another possession

I thought that you were the one But now I see what you've done You were playing games with me All along I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul But you tore them apart All part of your show Betrayal comes walking through the door And I don't think I can take it no more You had me believing in your lies But now I see through your disguise I remember the good times we used to have But now you're just makin' me sad I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul But you tore them apart All part of your show Betrayal comes walking through the door And I don't think I can take it no more You had me believing in your lies But now I see through your disguise I don't know what I saw in you But now I know that it wasn't true You only wanted to be cruel You had me wrapped around your finger You played me for a fool Then rent my heart in two You were the one who tore us apart And now you're done breaking my heart Betrayal comes walking through the door And I don't think I can take it no more You had me believing in your lies But now I see through your disguise Betrayal comes walking through the door And I don't think I can take it no more Betrayal comes walking through the door Betrayal comes walking through the door

Brave 02:53
They called you brave When they heard the news They don’t understand You didn’t get to choose You didn’t get to choose You did not get to choose Don’t feel like I’m brave Don’t make me be brave Don’t feel like I’m brave Don’t want to be brave They watched you thrive And they called you brave They don’t see What you had to trade What you had to trade What you had to trade Don’t feel like I’m brave Don’t make me be brave Don’t feel like I’m brave Don’t want to be brave Don’t feel like I’m brave Don’t make me be brave Don’t feel like I’m brave Don’t want to be brave

about

Resilience is a common theme of my songs, and in this case, I explore how growth can be a function of adversity. The songs on this album reflect forced changes in life, heart-break, betrayal, and new beginnings.
